Last month I featured two resources that are helpful for children’s writers—The Children’s Writer’s Word Book and Writing Picture Books. Today I am featuring two more fabulous resources by our own CCA contributor—Nancy I. Sanders. Nancy is a bestselling, award-winning author of more than 100 books for children. She brings her experience to the pages in Yes! You Can Learn How to Write Children’s Books, Get Them Published, and Build a Successful Writing Career, and Yes! You Can Learn How to Write Beginning Readers and Chapter Books.

Did you notice the long titles? That’s because there is so much great information packed into these books that it’s impossible to sum it up in a few words! From brainstorming ideas and creating proposals to researching markets and writing manuscripts, these books cover it all. These books are not a quick and easy way to become a successful published author because that is not realistic. Rather, these books are like having your own personal writing coach walk with you, step-by-step, covering every detail of the writing and publishing process.

In both books, Nancy explores all the subgenres within children’s literature and the skills needed to master each one. She also talks about the business side of writing—like how to make money, and the personal side of writing—like creating a personalized office space and becoming part of a writing community.

Whether you are a beginning writer, intermediate writer, or published author, Nancy’s books are a great resource for anyone wanting to learn more about the writing and publishing process. Her enthusiasm, encouragement, and practical instruction will make you want to take the next step in your writing journey.

Here is what one of her readers has to say, “I’ve learned more from your book (and I’m only on page 127) than I’ve learned searching the entire internet.” -Karen.
